Thanks !

Here some more WIP, any advices and criticisms are welcome.

Could someone do the UV & textures for me when they will be finished ? I don't know how to do them properly.

OKay, I'll see what I can do !

For the rock cliff I was inspired by this photo http://ak2.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/1568221/preview/stock-footage-rock-arch-protrudes-into-water-on-new-zealand-coast-ms.jpg and this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Aiguille2.jpg

Maybe they can be use for the West gash ?

yes these are west gash styles. remember only the shapes can be used, u cannot bake the detail for meshes this big. you have to use tiling textures

Hey Lougian, this is amazing stuff! Like LA said though, these would be very appropriate for the West Gash since it has a generally more ''badlands'' feel to it than Azura's coast. Azura's coasts geological formations are more innately volcanic, with basalt columns all over the place. This is a very popular example that's been used to describe the direction we intend to go for that region; http://monsoondiaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Svartifoss-waterfall-flanked-by-black-hexagonal-basalt-columns-in-Skaftafell-National-Park-Iceland-@-Martin-MoosLonely-Planet-Images.jpg. I would absolutely encourage you to finish those models that you've made however, since LA is the one working on the West Gash I'm sure he will be positively estatic over having more models and material to work with to bring that entire region to life. You have all of my upvotes :)

Thank you very much ! :)

I spoke to Happychappy and similar rocks have been done, so forget mine.
I'm working on new ones, I hope they will fit with the region.

As for the textures, I have tried with tiling textures and there is always seams.

that is true but we need other rocks as well. I don't want everything to be bay salt nor would everything be bay salt in that region imo. there need to be some variation of rock formations because most place's that have bay salt have other rock formations as well.

Yeah, I need like 5 more rocks that I can use heaps... I think what I have done so far is starting to look a bit tired if you know what I mean.

Basalt is usually more close together like this.[External image]

and usually less individual. But it's looking good. :)

I could see quite a few of these having some awesome use underwater! It's easy to miss that the ocean floor is part of landscaping as well :)
